The Five Stages of Grief And Mourning

2008-10-06
In this book, Dr. Ross expands on her original concepts of the five stages of death and dying. In this book she speaks to the survivors, and offers five stages of loss as it relates to grief.

This is the book to buy for anyone you know who is experiencing grief and loss. Just give them the book - don't offer advice or highlight what you think are important paragraphs. Let the reader make her own decisions about what she finds meaningful in the book and you will probably be thanked greatly later on.

Good buy!

Lost three parents - this is the best book on grief

2008-08-03
I have lost three parents in the past year. My mother, father and stepfather and there is no better book that relates to what I have been feeling. I bought several other books on the topic and they don't even come close. There is a reason this is given 5 stars, it is because Kubler Ross knows her subject better than anyone. She invested so much time on the subject.

Buy it for yourself or friends who have lost someone.

Excellent resource

This is a book that I would reccomend everyone read. It is a wonderful guide to the grieving process. It not only helps those going through the process realize what to expect and what is normal, but it also helps those surrounding this person understand better what they are going through. Loss is something we all encounter in our lives and this book helps in preparing us for those times. Also I would reccomend this book as a gift to a grieving person.

This book is an excellent source for the grieving. The material covers any type of loss. I have experienced the loss of my son to suicide and found it exceptional!

On Grief and Grieving

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's On Death and Dying changed the way we talk about the end of life. Before her own death in 2004, she and David Kessler completed On Grief and Grieving, which looks at the way we experience the process of grief.

Just as On Death and Dying taught us the five stages of death -- denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance -- On Grief and Grieving applies these stages to the grieving process and weaves together theory, inspiration, and practical advice, including sections on sadness, hauntings, dreams, isolation, and healing.

A wonderful book! 2008-03-07
I was widowed less than a year ago. This book helped me understand what I was going through emotionally. Every page was a comfort to me. It not only helped me to understand myself better, but it helped me to better support a friend dealing with grief. I highly recommend this book to everyone dealing with grief.

The right book at the right time. 2008-02-06
This book was recommended by a bookstore employee.I lost my dad a year ago to cancer. I've been seeing a grief councelor for almost a year now. I started reading it about 4 days before the 1 year date of his passing and I'm glad I did. When I went to his grave on that day, my mourning wasn't as tragic as I thought it would be. I felt a sense of peace when I left, and I know it came from reading this book. It helped me to better understand ALL the processes of grief. I told my councelor about the book and she is recommending it to her clients based on my praises of this book. I believe it was a WONDERFUL tool/aide in my healing process. I am ordering copies for my sister and stepmother.

I haven't read this book yet; 2007-12-10
I have not yet read this book, but after reading the other reviews, I plan to buy it. I myself very recently suffered the loss of my daughter in my fifth month of pregnancy for as yet unknown reasons just 10 weeks ago. The worst thing is not knowing, and people unknowlingly saying the wrong thing.
I can sympathize with others who have suffered a loss. I've been there, too.

Sensational. This book go step by step in showing you what your feelings are. How you feel about grieving, it also gives you insight of your actual life and the things you take for granted and once your love ones are gone. I helps you to think of the many things you can enjoy with them eventhough they are no longer physically here with you.
